In ParallelPC: Paralellised Versions of Constraint Based Causal Discovery Algorithms

Description

The Monte Carlo permutation test for mutual information. See bnlearn package for more details.

Usage

mcmig(x, y, S, suffStat)

Arguments

x,y,S	It is tested, whether x and y are conditionally independent given the subset S of the remaining nodes. x, y, S all are integers, corresponding to variable or node numbers.
suffStat	The dataset in matrix format with rows are samples and columns are variables.
